JV-1010 - LSB Issue

Post by billinbrasil »

Good day to all.

I'm trying to setup a JV-1010 for use with a Roland PK-5 foot controller, using iMIDIPatchbay to configure the MIDI messaging, tied to my setlist. This is for a stage setup. However, I cannot get the synth to recognise the LSB message for bank change. The program change message for the patch and the MSB are received and processed just fine by the JV-1010, but the LSB doesn't. This limits me the the patches on the banks where the LSB number is the default "0", namely "User", "PR-A"and "XP-A". The other banks are inaccessible through MIDI, I have to manually rotate the selector to use the patches.

Bank Select | Program No | Group Patch No.
MSB | LSB | |
------+-----+------------+----------------------------------------
80 | 0 | 0 - 127 | User 1 - 128
81 | 0 | 0 - 127 | PR-A 1 - 128
81 | 1 | 0 - 127 | PR-B 1 - 128
81 | 2 | 0 - 127 | PR-C 1 - 128
81 | 3 | 0 - 127 | GM 1 - 128
81 | 4 | 0 - 127 | PR-E 1 - 128
84 | 0 | 0 - 127 | XP-A (Session) 1 - 128
84 | 1 | 0 - 126 | XP-A 129 - 255
84 | 2 | 0 - 127 | XP-B 1 - 128
84 | 3 | 0 - 126 | XP-B 129 - 255

I've read that an alternative method would be to send a MIDI message using a sequential patch number, that is, by using the formula (MSB * 128) + LSB. However, the program change number in iMIDIPatchbay only goes from 0 to 127, obviously assuming that the MSB and LSB numbers are functioning as well.

Any ideas on how to configure this??

TIA
